North Georgia
Adventure Race

North Georgia Adventure Race information

We plan to bring the NGAR back in 2011.. This classic 30 hour adventure race is returning in January 2011 to the Ellijay area. The course will be about 80 miles through some of the most scenic, challenging, and historic terrain in north Georgia. We're shooting for this race to be finishable...depending on the weather and your training. In 2010 we had a very doable course and it was cold, rainy, and foggy the entire time.

As usual, the entry fee will be minimal and all of the proceeds from the race will go to support non-profits.

Bottom line...you should expect a very professional event created for racers with a beautiful course and minimal frills.
